Re: make recovery backup for itanium server

With a current firmware your servers will support direct tape boot.

rx2620/rx4640:

Enhancements:
System 04.10
...
Added support for Tape Boot on U160 and U320 SCSI cards in combination with the HP-UX 11i v2 0606 Release.
...

Select "Boot from file" and select the tape device (booting needs some time ...).

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: make recovery backup for itanium server

Ok another issue I want to ask.
if my tape drive assign to /dev/rmt/0m
I can run make_tape_recovery -AIv enter
and it will run the backup.
But if the tape drive other than 0m means either 1m or 2m when I run make_tape_recovery it will gives error and stated it not found /dev/rmt/0m why it keeps looking for 0m drive?
How to run backup?

Re: make recovery backup for itanium server

The 0mn device is the default.
With "-a" you can specify another tape device, e.g.

-a /dev/rmt/1mn

Hope this helps!
